In the US power distribution system, I understand that the neutral is connected to ground at the point of entry to the property's distribution board. Do the electricity company provide a ground wire

Hi Peter, I just wired my new home/shack/shop here in Texas. I will tell you how it is here. My service starts out with a 30 kva transformer. It is ground mounted, and the service entry cables are al

Utility companies mainly use one ground wire. It serve all functions, including neutral to balance uneven loads. At periodic intervals, it is grounded to earth grounds. That is at every transformer,

The ground is local. At my house, it was just a poor connection to a water pipe! I drove my own rod to improve it. As I understand it, the power company also has a ground rod at the distribution tran

This is true. Ground is from a local ground rod. Not on my service box. Not on my service box. GFI and RF do get on well. My guess is that GFI designers probably don't know what RF is. None that I h

Thanks for all the comments. Here we have a totally different system The power line down the street is usually buried, and has 3 phases and a neutral. The neutral is grounded in various places, but n

On my opinion it has a small meaning talking about potentials between ground and neutral, what counts is the amount of current that eventually flows and this has to be kept minimal. Differential safe

Interesting. We use to have that system in the UK, but it is no longer allowed. These were called ELCB - Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker - popularly called 'voltage trips'. These days, we have 'current

Rich mentioned a few days ago that these circuit breakers can be subject to RFI. Presumably that would be the voltage-operated type. The 'current trip' (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) has both L a
